John 11:25 "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,"

If YOUR OLD MAN complains, remember, it’s just an echo. Ignore him. Ignore him every time altogether as if he’s dead… because HE IS! Live as if you are free, because you are! Live FREE.

Luke 5:36 “And He was also telling them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.”

Ask Jesus to REMOVE the OLD MAN. Don’t bother teaching the old man. He doesn’t listen or learn, so don’t bother. Instead, FOCUS on YOUR NEW MAN! See your new man everywhere you look. Teach the NEW MAN! The harvest is ripe!

Luke 5:37 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.”

Jesus showed us a great deal of GOOD, and He ALWAYS demonstrated the ABSOLUTE GOODNESS of God, His FATHER. Jesus IS the way, the truth, and the life, and He often said, “Follow me… or do this like me…” WAS IT JUST A SUGGESTION?

1 Peter 5:10 "After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you."

Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, HIS STUDENTS. Jesus taught, instructed, applied, and PRACTICED with His disciples, and HE STILL DOES every day. Jesus is IN YOU, doing the work, transforming you INTO HIS IMAGE.

Mark 2:22 “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”

Jesus LIVED IN a community, He led a core group, and many followed Him. Jesus taught and practiced with His disciples UNTIL THEY GOT IT, and then HE ascended to the FATHER, where HE SITS ON THE THRONE OF GRACE until ALL enemies are made HIS FOOTSTOOL.

John 6:51 “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

We PRACTICE putting on the NEW MAN. We focus on the NEW COVENANT and everything JESUS accomplished on our behalf by GRACE. Meaning, JESUS DID IT ALL ALL MEANS ALL. Because Jesus took our place and GAVE US HIS LIFE IN EXCHANGE, we KNOW it was a FULL EXCHANGE.

1 John 4:17 "By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world."

It is DONE. Therefore, we NOW walk and abide IN CHRIST. We walk and abide IN CHRIST, who is IN THE FATHER.

1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ."

We work from HIM and IN HIM and THROUGH HIM. We are ONE with the FATHER IN CHRIST.

Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

We put off the old man and put on the new man. It’s a FULL EXCHANGE and a progressive transformation from ONE level of Glory to another.

2 Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."

Jesus does the work and the will IN US and FOR US. We practice putting off the old dean man and walking in the NEW MAN in LOVE.

John 4:23-26 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman *said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” Jesus *said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

We practice abiding in HIS LOVE, JOY, PATIENCE, and PEACE because we have HIS LIFE. When we practice putting off the old man and putting on the new man, there’s no performance review, no grading, and no failure.

2 Corinthians 4:4 "in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."

JESUS DOES THE WORK AND THE WILL IN YOU AND THROUGH YOU.

Philippians 2:13 "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."

There is ONE LIFE, SPIRIT, LORD, and TEACHER. He is our SHEPHERD too, and we know HIS VOICE ALONE.

Ephesians 4:4-7 "There is ONE body and ONE Spirit, just as also you were called in ONE hope of your calling; ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift."

Scripture Soak… soak on the following Scriptures, read them out loud to Jesus, showing Him, as your teacher, all that you have learned from Him, sharing all that you know and have learned from HIM, especially the parts about the ABSOLUTE GOODNESS OF GOD!
